On Saturday night, Russian troops launched a missile strike on Kyiv. According to Timur Tkachenko, head of the Kyiv City Military Administration, a kindergarten building in the Dnipro district was damaged.
He said that the attack knocked out windows, damaged cars, and created a crater in the courtyard of a residential building. On the left bank of the Dnipro River, rescuers continue to extinguish several fires.
In total, eight residents of the capital have been confirmed injured, Tkachenko said. Four people with minor injuries have already sought medical attention.
The Kyiv authorities have called on citizens not to ignore air raid sirens and to remain in shelters during attacks.
According to the State Emergency Service, nine people were injured during the night-time Russian attack. Three have been hospitalised.
Hits were recorded in the Desnianskyi, Dniprovskyi and Darnytskyi districts. A non-residential building caught fire at one of the locations.
Debris also fell on open ground at another address. As a result, windows in nearby buildings were damaged.
Rescue workers and relevant services are working at the scene.
